Piano's external subscription service plays a crucial role in managing website subscriptions, ensuring compliance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). This service supports complex hybrid consent models, often requiring the use of external consent management platforms (CMPs) alongside detailed legal oversight [1].
One key aspect of Piano's service is the handling of personal data transfers to third countries, such as the USA. These transfers are subject to GDPR's stringent rules on international data transfers. In accordance with Article 49(1)(a) GDPR, transfers to countries without an adequacy decision necessitate explicit consent from users, who must be informed of the potential risks due to the absence of adequate protections [1].
To adhere to these regulations, Piano must:
- Obtain explicit, informed consent from users for transferring their personal data to countries like the USA.
- Ensure this consent is freely given, specific, informed, and unambiguous.
- Use mechanisms such as CMPs to handle this consent properly.
- Provide transparent information to data subjects about the transfer and associated risks.
Since Piano's system often requires external CMPs and legal oversight, it indicates a heavy reliance on these consent mechanisms to address the lack of an adequacy decision for the USA. As a result, Piano relies on Article 49(1)(a) as a legal basis for the transfer [1].
